Warning: Spoilers that may or may not be true. Just sayin’.
What does Gloria do for her psychotic man-child when he comes home bloodied after murdering a male prostitute? She gives him some new play toys, the Tattler twins, courtesy of Elsa. Jealously & delusional ambition drove Elsa to show up at the Mott mansion with the twins. She’s getting rid of her Freak Show’s top attraction that also is her competition for the spotlight & fame thanks to Stanley’s fake plans to make the twins’ stars. With the twins missing, his plan backfired and he lost his top pick of freaks to sell to the Morbidity Museum. This makes him even more desperate & dangerous to kill some freaks.
The official synopsis for tonight’s AHS Freak Show episode 6 titled “Bullseye” reads, ” While Elsa Mars reveals a new sideshow act that could have disastrous consequences, Stanley begins pressuring Maggie to take Jimmy’s life, and Paul indulges in a romance that he struggles to keep a secret.”
Of course the freaks notice the missing twins, and Paul & Ethel confront Elsa about their disappearance. Elsa unveils a dangerous new act to the fill the void left by the twins. It’s a rotating human size bullseye. She wickedly tests it out by making some of her freaks take turns spinning on it as the daggers go flying at them. Is it an illusion or are they real daggers? Does Paul make it out of the practice alive after his confrontation with Elsa?
Happy Birthday Fraulein Elsa! Is she in a celebrating mood for being one year older? I’m not sure of the context, but Elsa will be singing another song in this episode. What does she sing? Is it supposed to be a replacement song after her disastrous popcorn pelting performance last week? Well instead of singing in a blue suit, she’ll be singing something by Ol’ Blue Eyes. Finally you freaktards can stop bitching about the out of date songs because she will sing a torch song, “September Song” (1946) by Frank Sinatra, and Elsa’s version is already on iTunes.
Who is Paul having a romance with? Is it another freak, or is it someone local from Jupiter? Will Maggie thwart Stanley’s plans and go with her heart to help Jimmy? Does Regina come to Jupiter looking for her mother, Dora? Will a freak die tonight? I say yes, at least one maybe two. I hope they don’t go the easy route and hurt Ma Petite. Of all the freaks, it will hurt my soul if writers take the easy way out and kill that defenseless lady. Yes we all have seen the spoiler promo video of her being drowned, but just like last week’s double fake death scenes you never know what is real or fantasy. I hate foilers (fake spoilers). And it goes without saying DO NOT FUCKING HURT MY PEPPER, or her buddy Salt.
I’m disappointed to say that I’m short on juicy spoilers this week. I guess Ryan Murphy is the only one allowed to spoil because FX managed to get a good source of spoilers suspended from Twitter; and RM himself hasn’t give any new revealing interviews for this episode. So while trolling the net I found other spoilers that may or may NOT be true.
Penny (Grace Gummer), the candy striper from episode 1, will be back. Remember Elsa got her high on opium and filmed her in the midst of a freak orgy to blackmail her from going to the police. Another rumor is that we will see Andy (Matt Bomer) one more time in this episode though it was stated that he was only doing one episode. Last time we saw Andy he was still alive while being dismembered by Dandy. Maybe he’s in a flashback scene?
To find out what happens watch AHS: Freak Show tonight at 10 ET on FX, and it’s another extended episode at 73 minutes long. Am I ever going to get break from recapping these terrific long ass shows? As always please join our smart & sometimes stupid AHS discussion below, and come back here later for my recap. While I’m still chained to TT’s radiator you can stalk me on Twitter @Urethra_F
I hate to be the one to tell you but you know Salt is dead meat. lol Of course she could be abducted by aliens because that was a theme in asylum and RM confirmed all the AHS shows are connected somehow. Pepper goes to the asylum alone though..that’s bad news for salt.
Thanks UF!!! Looking forward to this episode and your recap….xoxoxo…you’re the best!!
So I’m confused, the twins weren’t myrdered by the freak seller?
No they are not dead. They are alive & well for now as Dandy’s new playmates.
Not just playmates but FUTURE BRIDES! Lolol how will they get out of this? The Tattler Twins are too important, and they’ll make it out…Seal man is on to Dandy, once Jimmy realizes the truth and gets himself out of Elsa’s ASS he might just be the one to save them, after all, he is in love with Dot.
Alexa, girl all you have to do is read UF’s great recaps and you can keep up with what’s going on with AHS. He always has the scoop before and after even if you don’t watch the show.
Thanks Urethra, your precaps always highten my AHS anticipation!
Elsa calls the freaks her monsters but she is truly a monster.
OMFG they did a “Mommie Dearest” homage. I am dying with happiness.
I thought I was the only one who caught that. That whole scene from her monologue to the rob she had on screamed mommy dearest.
TY!! I’m so glad you had the same thought about that obviously Mommie Dearest inspired scene; and at the moment I’m rather pissed at my freaktards for not co-signing on that fantastic homage.
Two of my all time favorite movies are “Mommie Dearest” & “Scarface”. Yeah I know complete opposite ends of the movie spectrum, but when I’m channel surfing I ALWAYS stop what I’m doing when I find them on TV. Both are my guiltiest movie pleasures.
I overheard someone talking about the next season and they thought the top hat was in reference to Operation Top Hat, which was a government project in 1953 that involved multiple tests on humans, that included vesicants, phosgene etc. They didn’t have an answer for how ‘arcane’ fit into the equation but their theory was interesting. A series involving human tests subjects in an Area 51 like setting where something bad happens kind of like in The Thing.
My spoiler source that got suspended from twitter also had some sort of image (real or not) of a memo about Operation Top Hat. That was one of the last things that account tweeted before the Ryan Murphy mafia had it shut down. I don’t know if that was a red herring or what, but Operation Top Hat is the front runner in my opinion for next season. I am pretty gullible too, so we’ll see.
It sounds reslly interesting. I read somewhere that Murphy was scouting or thinking if scouting desert sets for next season. It may end up all making sense soon.
In this episode Dandy mentioned the Utah desert. Just sayin’
So a few recaps back UF mentioned never hearing the term “poof” used to describe a gay man. Well neither had i until last night when my boyfriend & I decided to partake in what some like to refer to as self medication of the green herbal variety & watch episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia which is a hysterical show when you’re not high so imagine a little ineb–err–medication. One of the episodes where Mac & Dennis dress up as 1770’s “British men” they are referred to as poofs! I couldn’t remember how to type when I first saw it but it was the first thing I came to do when I woke up this morning (at 430 am??)
Ok I’m done back to sleep.
LOL Thanks…. Now sleep off that herb hangover gurl… Next time bring enough for the whole class.
WHY ARE YOU POSTING IN COMMENTS? Don’t you have a recap to write? Do I need to shorten your chain? 🙂

If the chain gets any shorter I will become ONE with the radiator. Which is not a bad idea because it’s cold as fuck outside. I’m working. I’m working slowly, but surely I’m working. Don’t you have small children to yell at somewhere? 😛
No small children. Today I am wishing death on the elderly and disabled. (neighbors). I guess I can go back to focusing on that. :)

Trivia;
Did you know that Grace Gummer is the second of Merle Streep’s daughter’s to follow in Mom’s footsteps of acting.
Apparently Grace has quite a resume of work too. I would love for her to be back on AHS next year; but for sure she will be around for at least 3 more episodes this season. I wonder if she’s gonna end up with a freak pregnancy?
Patti Labelle is coming up on The View to sing and talk about American Horror Story.

Is it just me or is the actor that plays Dandy stealing the show away from Jessica Lange? Granted Jessica is a legend. Yet I find that Finn guy very mesmerizing. He gives very good serial killer.
If they kill off Ma Petite, I will stop watching this season. Last night I almost stopped breathing twice! I found the scene between Dot and Jimmy intriguing. Their chemistry works, I hope they’re paired up somewhere down the AHS road.
I agree Dandy is the break out star of this season. He’s freaking fantastic. I hope he comes back next season. I hope that happens and no more Evan Peters too.
Loving your recaps as always, off, but I thought NeNe and Ryan Murphy were “tight”. Her words, not mine. So why hadn’t he given her a small part in AHS? Inquiring minds want to know, Nene. (And I secretly love you girl, that’s why I’m even asking. ) Maybe you should call him up on his private number and ask him. :/
I don’t know how I spelled UF as off lol, it’s late, that’s my only excuse.
If there was ever an AHS season for Nene, this is it…

Come to think it, I am sure Twisty’s large toothy grin that is painted on his stank mouth mask is inspired by Nene’s large peach pie hole.

I still miss Twisty. As for Nene, I’m forever waiting for her walk-on cameo on “The Walking Dead”. It IS set in Atlanta and that area, is it not? I want to see Nene in full walker make up…teeth and all.
I can’t take these weird “they died-no, they didn’t die-yes, they did die–no, they didn’t die” scenes. Either kill them or don’t. These scenes are frustrating, and remind me of the Bobby Ewing fiasco, where the entire season was a dream.
I agree with you 110%. I bitched about the same thing in my recap too. I just finished it and sent it to TT. It should be posted later today. Thanks for reading.
Thank YOU for recapping! <3
_/\__(* __ *)__/\_ @HannahKingRose patiently/impatiently waiting for the new AHS recap to be posted.
Damn that was quick. My wish come true. Thanks TT.
It’s herrrrreee!
